Ella H. McCormick Detroit Free Press 05/20/2021
It is a production which everyone should see, for it represents the latest word in the fast-moving progress of the new show world of the screen and provides the most lavish, beautiful and satisfying entertainment the screen has yet offered.

3/4
All in all, this makes merry talkie-singie-dancie fare and the beauty of its color again reaches pictorial splendor. Go to Full Review Edwin Schallert Los Angeles Times 05/20/2021
Ann Pennington's dancing. Lilyan Tashman's "English" drawl. Miss Foster's rather winning, sweetness, and Gertrude Short's occasionally amusing comments are other facets of interest in a picture that Is light and diverting. Go to Full Review C.A. Lejeune Observer (UK) 05/20/2021
It seems remote and artificial, without the saving grace of formality and its laughter belongs to a type which, like that of "The Coconuts" and "Rio Rita" leaves me unfired. Go to Full Review Edgar Waite San Francisco Examiner 05/20/2021
Gold Diggers of Broadway lacks the human quality that On With the Show had, and the acting is stilted, except for that of Albert Gran, Lilyan Tashman and Conway Tearle. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/05/2022 The best movie song ever sung: Tiptoe Thru the Tulips with Me! See more 12/13/2021 This as a box office sensation making Winnie Lightner a worldwide star featuring two songs that became 20th century standards, "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," and "Painting the Clouds with Sunshine." For the time, it was considered very good entertainment on screen. The color process was lauded as were the songs. The story itself was generally amusing even if not particularly substantial.
